Hardox® 600

A little extra hardness can go a long way. At the high end on the hardness scale for our Hardox® range of grades, Hardox® 600 can give your equipment the extra edge in service life in applications that take a beating. Hardox® 600 has a yield strength around 1650 MPa, much higher than for standard structural steels like S355 steel, which has a yield strength of about 355 MPa.

With Hardox® 600, you don’t have to sacrifice wear resistance for impact strength. Thanks to its properties, this steel can withstand impacts that often lead to fracture or destruction of other wear parts made in white iron chromium castings, manganese castings, bimetals or ceramics. Hardox® 600 has an impact toughness that can make it more durable than those materials. It also successfully fights sliding wear.

Hardox® 600 is available as plate in thicknesses of 6.0 – 65.0 mm and as sheet in thicknesses of 3.0 - 6.0 mm. Hardox® 600 is available in widths up to 2000 mm and lengths up to 14630 mm. Preferred dimensions for the plates are 2000 x 4000 mm. For sheets in thicknesses of 3.0 - 4.5 mm the preferred dimensions are 1250 x 3000, and for sheets in thicknesses between 4.5 - 6.0 mm the preferred dimensions are 1500 x 3000 mm. Other dimensions on request. More detailed information on dimensions is provided in the dimension program.
